3D Scanning for Engineering | Point Clouds to CAD Design
3D Scanning for Engineering: Accurate Existing Conditions for Better Design and Drafting Modern engineering projects increasingly depend on accurate information about what already exists on site. This is particularly important for brownfield facilities, industrial plants, mining operations, manufacturing sites and infrastructure where structures, equipment and services may have been modified many times since the original drawings were produced. Traditional measurements, photographs and existing drawings can provide useful information, but they may not capture the complete geometry engineers need when designing modifications around existing assets. This is where 3D scanning for engineering provides a major advantage. Hamilton By Design uses engineering-led 3D laser scanning to capture existing plant, equipment, structures and buildings as detailed three-dimensional point cloud datasets. These digital records can then support engineering design, structural drafting, mechanical modelling...
